If it's on the rear bumper near the exhaust i would guess its running lean... but on the sail panel? wtf?

My guess is you have a small oil or transmission leak. Driving for one hour isn't that long.

yeah that it isnt that long but its nasty its covered all over the back of the car. the car has a small oil leak and it has since i have had the car. and its never got on the back of the car. its definitly coming out of the tail pipes thats were its the worest.
